The real solution occurs when the graph intersects the x axis,
In the problem shown, the graph does not intersect the x axis, therefore it has no real solution, this means that the answer must have a complex conjugate pair
The answer is function f has exactly two complex solutions
To find the sales tax multiply the purchase price by the sales tax rate. Remember to convert the sales tax rate from a percent to a decimal number. Once the sales tax is calculated, it is added to the purchase price. The result is the total cost—this is what the customer pays.
